Numbness of the feet caused by lumbar disc herniation can be recovered to a certain extent in 2 to 4 weeks with reasonable treatment, otherwise it may take longer.
Patients with severe lumbar disc herniation may compress the nerve roots in the spinal canal, with congestion and edema around the nerve tissues, and symptoms of numbness, pain, and weakness in all the innervated areas.
Through active early diagnosis, through rehabilitation training and physical therapy, most of the symptoms can be effectively relieved, and patients who have been compressed for a longer period of time can be treated with surgical release.
After proper treatment, foot numbness can usually be effectively relieved in 2~4 weeks. However, due to the different symptoms and physical conditions of different patients, patients with severe symptoms and poor physical conditions may need a longer time to recover.
